    Strongly suggest not telling anyone when you make such a decision. Keep it to yourself, work privately, and keep going until someone else comments (and then keep going anyway).

    Telling people gets their praise, then you have a false sense of accomplishment and motivation gets sapped.

    Completely projecting. Maybe you’re already doing this, what do I know? But maybe it’s a helpful perspective, so I said it anyway.

        Yeah this is often advice given for any love changes (weight loss, stopping smoking etc) as getting support from others is usually really helpful plus it gives more accountability.

      I experienced this myself for sure. Just do the thing and get into it. Also helps make sure youre really doing it for yourself.
